NASA joins the Commons on Flickr today with three iconic sets spanning the US space agency’s 50+ year history. Their Commons account will feature photos from across the agency’s many locations and centers, chronicling the history of space and lunar missions, and the people and places of the organization.

Tomatina 2010



La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol in the Valencia region of Spain. Tens of metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets in exactly one hour.

Flickr member flydime was on location and took a bunch of awesome photos documenting the event. Take a look at the rest of his work and enjoy some squishy red tomato fun in his La Tomatina set.

Olympic wins



The first ever Youth Olympics Games wraps up on August 26th in Singapore and, from the looks of things, it was a hotbed of athletic ability. To celebrate the inaugural game, the International Olympics Committee sponsored a Youth Olympics Photographer Challenge for the budding photographer who could share what they thought captured the spirit of the Olympics. The winner was Billy Rowlinson from the UK and his winning entry is below. Billy’s in Singapore right now covering the end of the games. Congratulations Billy!
